The Rogue Westside Power Bar 2.0 is a collaboration between Rogue Fitness and Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell. It’s one of the best power bars available and at a price that years ago would be unheard of.

Product Highlights

Co-developed with powerlifting legend and strength coach Louie Simmons, Rogue’s redesigned Westside Power Bar is now fully machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio–just down the road from Simmons’ renowned Westside Barbell training facility.

The Westside Power Bar 2.

Pros & Cons

Bottom Line

When Louis Simmons puts his stamp of approval on a piece of powerlifting equipment, people tend to take notice.

The Rogue Westside Power Bar 2.0 developed along side Louis Simmons is in my mind, the powerlifting bar to have.

Not only does it look like a can of Monster Energy Drink, but it’s a 205,000 PSI, aggressive knurl, Made in the USA, Lifetime Warranty Record Breaker.

If you’re looking to PR on any or all of your Big 3 and want a bar that you can pass down to your grandchildren when you die (because us iron addicts lift till we’re dead and gone) then this is the bar for you.

Specifications:

  • Made in Columbus, OH, USA
  • Updated, aggressive knurling approved by Louie Simmons
  • Center knurl for added “stick” to the back during squats
  • 29mm Diameter and 205,000 PSI tensile strength for greater rigidity and reduced whip
  • New Green Composite Bushings and Snap Ring Design for smooth spin
  • New Green Endcap with Westside logo
  • Weight: 45LB
  • Finish: Black Zinc on shaft and sleeves
  • Lifetime Warranty against bending

2-Year Update: NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill Review 2025

2-Year Update: NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill Review 2025

Commercial treadmills are what you would typically see in big box gyms, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t live in your garage as well. As I found in reviewing the NordicTrack Commercial 1750, these machines can be an incredibly valuable (and expensive) asset in your fitness equipment arsenal. After testing some of the best treadmills, I truly believe that this is one of the best motorized options available – as long as you want interactive programming, a tech-friendly machine, and are willing to pay for it.NordicTrack has three treadmills in its commercial line, with the 1750 as the most affordable. In this NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill review, I’ll dive into what it’s like to assemble it, run on it and use it with iFit.My Favorite Things:Interactive iFit subscription is free for a year with purchaseTreadmill with incline and decline trainingFoldable to save spaceRun that feels similar to road runningOptions to turn running belt cushioning on/offMy Callouts:Requires an electrical outletBig footprint, heavy and not the easiest to movePrice is around $2,000, which is mid-rangeWarranty is 10 years frame, 2 years parts, 1 year labor
